FDR's Body Politics: The Rhetoric of Disability - Presidential Rhetoric Series
Davis W. Houck
Franklin Roosevelt took great care to hide his polio-induced lameness. This book is an analysis of the silences surrounding Roosevelt's disability, the words he used to portray himself and his policies as powerful and health-giving, and the methods he used to maximise the appearance of strength.
